Description

The Acoustic LS6 Loop Switch is designed for guitarists, bass players or anyone who needs to organize and switch their pedal effects, plus design and control their signal routing. It allows complete control of up to six loops, using 36 programable effect patches that can be easily saved and recalled.

A large, easy-to-read LED readout display provides clear visual feedback when performing in dark performance venues. Dual operation mode offers access to individual pedals in Live mode, or complex preset programs in Program mode. The six silent footswitches allow or quiet operation during loop selection, bank navigation and built-in tuner operation—with a dedicated Mute switch that allows for silent tuning or instrument changes. Plus, you’ll find a Tuner Out jack to feed an unaffected signal to your favorite external tuner. Front and back signal chain buffering options provide quiet signal path and compensation for longer cable runs. The Acoustic LS6’s rugged, all-steel enclosure also stands up to rigorous use for years of reliable service.

    This was an effortles device to work with. Out of the box and on to the pedal board. I haven't us the programmable offering. At this point, I really don't concern myself with the programming.

  • Great simple to use front of amp loop switch

    The LS6 is a great 6 loop controller that is easy to use as a programmable or live loop controller. Very sturdy construction, easy to program, easy to set buffered vs true bypass main input and output connections. Very quiet, and works perfectly. The only strange thing is that the loop activation switches are located in reverse of the loop connectors....so switch 1 activates the pedal connect on the last pair of loop connectors, switch 2 second to last...etc. Takes some getting used to.

    Serves it's purpose nothing fancy. Easy to set up. A little noisy through tube amps, but very quiet when hooked up to solid state

  • A must have for large pedal boards

    This product is very good for controlling multiple stomp boxes with the click of a single button. I especially like that there is an onboard tuner.

  • Lots of features, but needs a few adjustments

    Couldn't find any reviews on this item yet, so I want to share my experience. For the price this item packs a lot of features (6 bypass loops, tuner out, not too big, "live" indiv pedal mode, built in tuner, etc). Using this looper to contain my pedals that go in front of the amp consists of a Keeley Compressor, MXR EVH Phase 90, Digitech CM2 Tube Overdrive and a JHS Sweet Tea Overdrive. My modulation effects are being run outside of the looper in my EVH 5153's effects loop. I found the switches to be fine and sturdy. Solid clicking latches and bright status lights when on. For my purpose this looper is more than I need because I rarely engage more than 1-2 effects at a time, so pre-programming loops is more than I need, but my old Loop-Master was finally having switch issues. In Live mode, where individual loops can be turned on and off manually, there seems to be a slight latency when engaging overdrives. Something I could probably learn to live with. However, a couple things are forcing me to return this item and wait for my newly purchased SaturnWorks 6 loop switcher. (1)The pedal series should run Right (Loop1) to Left (Loop6) like a normal pedal would run. This forced me to re learn my tap dancing order. (2)The Live/Programmed switching function NEEDS to be foot switchable. Instead it is a small push button that has to be touched by hand. This is huge because there may be songs or times that you may want to individually select an effect to turn on/off without having to have a preset programmed loop. You would need to bend down mid performance and select by hand. This could be an easy fix because the Save/Edit button is controlled by a footswitch. This logic seems backwards because I doubt I would be programming loops on the fly that would require a footswitch over tapping a Save button. (3)I did not like having to press 2 buttons at a time to bank up and/or engage muted tuning. If I really needed multiple pedal changes at once, I may put more time into this
